No. I'm sorry, I didn't describe it too well. PII has two nVidia cards,
one for each monitor. Spread across the two monitors is the display
running locally. Switching to vt08 (Alt+ F8) I get the display which is
running on the PIV. This works fine with the nv driver, but not with
nVidia's proprietary nvidia driver. The error message again is
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to allocate external video decoder object
(EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting ***
Fatal server error:
AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0
So far as I could make it out, it's not related to the 'Twinview'
feature. Actually I can't see anything in the README that relates to it.
I think you're right that the nvidia forum might be more appropriate for
this question, but I just thought I'd try here first.
Thanks for your time.
Andrew
